It’s often said that life imitates art. But what about the eery instance when the opposite is true – especially when that involves the name “Walter White” – a first and last name that has become as recognizable in pop culture as any others. VICE recently ventured to Bessmer, Alabama where they caught up with the real Walter White – known as more than a meth cook and referred to as a “chef” in the art of manufacturing the illicit material. Detailing his exploits in the meth business much in same way Breaking Bad dealt with the fictional Walter’s origins, this is a riveting watch.
